TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM SYMPTOMS TABLE
Use the table below to help you find the cause of the problem. The numbers \
indicate the priority of the likely
cause of the problem. Check each part in order. If necessary, replace these parts.
(w/ Differential locking system):
Check that center differential lock mode is set.
When switching differential Free↔Lock, the indicator lamp will blink if the gears of the differen-
tial lock sleeve are not meshed. If this occurs, when the tires are rotated \
to apply differential
power to the differential, the differential locks and the indicator lamp\
light up.

(c) Turn the differential lock control switch to the FR/RR posi-
tion and lock the front differential.
(d) Rotating the tires, check they are in the differential lock condition.
(e) Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL
3. REMOVE FRONT AXLE SHAFTS (See page SA−13)
4. REMOVE TIE ROD FROM KNUCKLE ARM (See page SA−13 )
5. REMOVE FRONT PROPELLER SHAFT (See page PR−3 )
6. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: DISCONNECT CONNECTORS AND TUBE

(j) Install the ball, compression spring and spring seat.
(k) Clean the threads of 2 plugs and plug holes with toluene
or trichloroethylene.
(l) Apply adhesive to the plug threads. Adhesive: Part No. 08833 −00080, THREE BOND 1344,
LOCTITE 242 or equivalent
(m) Using a hexagon wrench, install and tighten the screw
plugs.
Torque: 22 N·m (220 kgf·cm, 16 ft·lbf)
31. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: MEASURE DISTANCE BETWEEN SLEEVE AND DIF-
FERENTIAL CASE END SIDE
Measure distance between the sleeve and tip of the differential
case when differential is free and locked. Standard distance:
LOCK: 17.44 − 18.86 mm (0.6866 − 0.7425 in.)
FREE: 32.40 − 33.90 mm (1.2756 − 1.3346 in.)
32. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL INDICATOR SWITCH
Install the indicator switch with a new gasket. Torque: 40 N·m (410 kgf·cm, 30 ft·lbf)
33. w/ DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: INSTALL ACTUATOR
(a) Check that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork is virtually above the center line of the actuator installation
hole.

(b) Ensure that the matchmarks of the pinion of the actuator
is in the extent between zero and 5 degrees clockwise
above the center line of the actuator.
If the matchmarks is not in this extent, rotate the pinion to be
matched. Do not supply the battery positive voltage directly be-
tween terminals. If the matchmarks come to the extension limit
of the rotation, do not electrify moreover.
(c) Install a new O−ring to the actuator.
(d) Apply a light coat of gear oil on the O −ring.
(e) Apply MP grease to the gear part.
(f) Insert the actuator so that the long hole on the actuator side fits with the knock pin on the carrier side.
HINT:
Do not damage the O −ring of the actuator.
(g) Align the actuator with the long hole and rotate the actua-
tor counterclockwise when the knock pin reaches the
right−hand side.
(h) Install the actuator to the differential carrier with the bolt so that the outermost rack tooth of the shift fork will fit the
matchmarks of the pinion of the actuator.

tion.
(d) Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
2. DRAIN DIFFERENTIAL OIL
3. REMOVE REAR AXLE SHAFTS (See page SA−63 )
4. DISCONNECT PROPELLER SHAFT (See page PR−3 )
5. REMOVE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER ASSEMBLY
(a) Remove the 10 nuts, washers and differential carrier as- sembly.
NOTICE:
Be careful not to damage the installation surface. Torque: 73 N·m (740 kgf·cm, 54 ft·lbf)

(6) Check the voltage between the terminals of the Diff.
lock ECU when switching the Diff. lock control
switch with the speedometer, registering approx. 8
km/h (5 mph) or more.
(7) Check that the indicator lights blink when center Diff. lock release mode is set.
Diff. lock is released for both the front wheels and
rear wheels at this time.
(8) Return the Diff. lock control switch to OFF.
(9) Stop the engine and lower the vehicle.
2. INSPECT DIFF. LOCK SYSTEM CIRCUIT
(a) Inspect the system circuit with connector disconnected. Disconnect the connector from the Diff. lock ECU and in-
spect the connector on the wire harness side, as shown
in the chart.

HINT:
When a signal enters the ECU to LOCK the front dif ferential and
set the rear differential to FREE (when battery positive voltage
is inputted to terminal 6 (RF) of ECU and about 0 V is inputted
to terminal 12 (R)), or a signal to FREE both the front and rear
differentials, the indicator lights keep blinking until the ignition
switch is turned off (Fail−safe function).
If the circuit is not as specified, check and repair or replace the
trouble part shown in the table above.
(b) Inspect the battery positive voltage Battery positive voltage: 10 − 14.5 V
(c) Inspect the system circuit with connector connected (1) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
(2) Keep the center Diff. lock condition.
(3) Remove the Diff. lock ECU.
(4) Using a voltmeter, measure the voltage when thedifferential lock control switch is in the position, as
shown below.
